LoadOptions Enumeration

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Specifies load options when parsing XML.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace:  System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<FlagsAttribute> _
Public Enumeration LoadOptions

[FlagsAttribute]
public enum LoadOptions

Members

	Member name	Description
	None	Does not preserve insignificant white space or load base URI and line information.
	PreserveWhitespace	Preserves insignificant white space while parsing.
	SetBaseUri	Requests the base URI information from the XmlReader, and makes it available via the BaseUri property.
	SetLineInfo	Requests the line information from the XmlReader and makes it available via properties on XObject.

Remarks

If you preserve white space when loading, all insignificant white space in the XML tree is materialized in the XML tree as is. If you do not preserve white space, then all insignificant white space is discarded.

There is a performance penalty if you set the SetBaseUri and the SetLineInfo flags.

The base URI and the line information are accurate immediately after loading the XML document. If you modify the XML tree after loading the document, the base URI and line information may become meaningless.

If the underlying XmlReader does not have base URI or line information, setting the SetBaseUri and the SetLineInfo flags will have no effect.

This type allows you to control how LINQ to XML handles white space when loading or parsing.
